WHAT HAPPENED @ ADIDAS ADIZERO "FIND YOUR FAST" - MANCHESTER

END. and adidas hosted “Find Your Fast” in Manchester: the third and final event in a three-part running series that celebrates the community spirit of running.

With the rendezvous set for Stevenson Square in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter, attendees took to the streets of the city once more for the final part in END. and adidas’ running series. Hosted and led by 2024 Manchester Marathon winner Adam Clarke, the first portion of the evening saw runners warm-up with a light run across to the city to the Manchester Regional Arena, where they were greeted by adidas’ ADIZERO test and trial van to put the latest ADIZERO silhouettes through their paces.

Once comfortable with a fresh pair of ADIZERO running sneakers, attendees were able to test their mettle with a tempo run soundtracked by a DJ and led by Clarke around the Manchester Regional Arena’s indoor track. Switching things up in time with the music, the tempo run challenged the runners with high-speed intervals, adding to the atmosphere and introducing a playful element to the training session.

Turning things up a notch, the training culminated in “The Ultimate Chase”, where runners had a chance to face Clarke over a one-kilometre stretch. Maintaining a set pace, Clarke was in hot pursuit of those who dared challenge him, as they tried to do a simple task: to not get caught. Finishing the evening with a Q&A session ahead of the Manchester Marathon next month, Clarke handed out some training wisdom to attendees.
